Life After Emery Begins

[Ceballinhos]

That's very true, I guess I wonder about the reports of his training sessions being too light, outdated etc and losing the dressing room at Bayern. You're right though.

I did say he has demonstrable success everywhere and I wouldn't say no.

He's a legitimate option.

Those same Bayern players turned against Kovac too. And were washed.
Blaming the manager was the easy solution.

But he's been a major success everywhere he's been at. He had one experience that didn't go great, it happens.
Almost every manager lose his dressing room. Especially when you're a top club coach and have to work with huge egos.
Muller Robben Ribery were reported to be the ones behind Carlo's sacking. They didn't like his methods. Those 3 guys are known to be great players, but they're also arrogant ****heads.

Chelsea players turned on Mourinho after winning the title, they let Conte down after winning a title, they never supported Sarri either.
Bayern got 2 managers sacked in a few years because their players weren't behind their coach.
Even Pochettino the most successful manager at Tottenham ultimately failed to keep his group motivated and behind him.

What if next season Liverpool have a disappointing season? Are we going to write off Klopp because he lost his dressing room?

I don't think so.

We have a significant sample that shows Carlo is a great coach. He's worked with the best player of our generation. He can bring so much to our group of players in term of mentality, spirit, professionalism, experience.

Big news heard from an extremely credible source in London. Poch has been in contact with #AFC over last few days. Provisional deal agreed 2 take over soon, Freddie on borrowed time. Wow!

You're starting to annoy me.

Ok

Freddie looking to have a chat with Arsène, that's the defence sorted out then....maybe not

 

[say yes]

Bored of this now.

 

[Notorious Big]

Jeremy Clarkson can be our new manager.

 

[Makingtrax]

Please United get Poch soon, so we won't be a laughed at by Spuds supporters for imagining their reject would take us above them for 20 years straight, like Wenger did.

Worry not, we're set,, Freddie also going to tap up Sven Goran Eriksson for advice.

Can a mod add Marcelino to the poll?

@hydrofluoric acid and @<<reed>> need someone to vote for.

I never vote.

 

[OnlyOne]

I never vote.

Do you fancy dinner again tonight or do you have plans?

You gonna do this with half the forum or what?

 

[<<reed>>]

I know this poll is irrelevant, but its worrying that Allegri only have slightly more votes than what Ljungberg has or that Arteta almost have 3 times more votes than what Nuno has.

This forum is called "Bum Mania' for a reason.

Raul Sanllehi and Edu should take a lesson from Levy on how you replace your manager. They are embarrassing themselves the longer this goes on.

I just can't see how any board in any industry across the globe can allow themselves to look so absolutely weak in such a pivotal time..

wouldn't snatching at the first available manager show more weakness? it would in my book - waiting until someone we really want, if necessary to the end of the season, would show strength of purpose, IMO

They're is no way to win fans approval, isn't it?

The same fans who were very hostile against Mourinho being the Arsenal manager, now are saying we should take a lesson from the club who hired him.

The same ones who call Marcelino a mid table level coach don't want Ancelotti a CL caliber coach either.

 

[say yes]

one more team out of the Poch sweepstakes

 

[goonergaz]

The problem is we sign player who are commonly known that generally no other big club wants to make fans think we are a big club.

The skill is finding unknown players and them having more levels.

Arsenal along with United are too up their own assess to shop in poundland and find a bargain.

Who decided Mustafi was worth 35m and Xhaka the same when players like Ndidi and Mahrez and co going cheap. We seem to be skipping a level to scout at where there are gems.

We have signed a few potentially good 'cheaper' players. Martinelli, Guen, Sok, Holding - even Tierney and Saliba (if you want to include~25m which is cheap these days).

I do agree our scouting is nothing like it was under the early Wenger years...but it's been improving I think, it's just much harder these days and it risky buying too many gambles (look what happened with Wengers gambles in the 2nd half of his reign)...the lower clubs can take those risks easier IMO.
